Chapter Twelve Americas Company Five: Kennewick
Chen Qixin left Sun Xiuru at Oregon Castle and set off with the hundred people.
For Sun Demao, this woman was named Sun Xiuru, and her surname was Sun, and she was also the "Xiu" generation. She was mostly related to Nikan. Her Chinese name was De, and she was still her junior. Therefore, she did not dare to neglect her. She specially cleaned up a house for her, and was next to her yard. She also asked Masharan to talk to her often and taught her Indian language.
When he saw the remaining people who were about ten people serving Sun Xiuru, his judgment became even more serious. At this time, he also secretly ordered Etuhun to pay attention to her safety.
Less gossip, Chen Qixin led a hundred people to set out along the Oregon River. Since the castle does not currently have extra horses, they can only carry a small amount of items each, such as small bags of salt, small iron sets, ready-to-wear, etc., plus the items they use, each person carries about dozens of kilograms on his body.
Having said that, leaders like those shopkeepers, Chen Qixin and other leaders naturally don’t need to carry things themselves, and have their own subordinates to do it for them.
On the way, Chen Qixin said to the shopkeepers: "It would be great if there was a horse farm here. If it was managed well, the business would be good."
Everyone nodded frequently, but unfortunately, due to the limited cabin space, Susilo's ships could only carry war horses used by the army and livestock prepared by farmers to feed them. As for the pack horses used for transportation, they could only hope that there would be more ships on the ocean in the future, especially after the merchants' own ships increased.
"Also," when Chen Qixin thought about this, he couldn't help but have a big idea. "Just do the transportation business, buy or rent, and get a few boats. When the first time he came, he was carrying a large number of cattle, sheep and horses. After the horses arrived, they opened a large cart shop and a horse and mule shop..."
A shopkeeper smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, what you said is of course good, but if the government did not repair the road, your cart would not be able to run, so you can only use a horse."
Chen Qixin was not discouraged, "Then I will build the road when I wait, and I will charge the fee after I have finished the road..."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pat his head, "It seems that I am really a business material. I just do it like this. I think the Daxia Empire is limited in staff, and it is impossible to reach the east in a short time. I just do it like this. At the beginning, the mule and horse team was established, and when there were too many people, I would build roads."
Although he married Nikan's sister, Chen Qixin also realized that Nikan did not value this sister, and had neither a title nor received a residence outside the pass.
What's more, in his heart, he was afraid that his weight was heavier than his sister, but why did he put himself in this so-called "American Company"?
He also thought about it carefully, but after thinking about it, he had no idea. In the end, he simply accepted his fate. Since he was on the road of business, he might as well do it.
This time, in addition to Chen Qixin and his business, there were Texas and Antonio, who could serve as "translators" and their own affairs. Antonio was originally for missionary purposes, and in addition to him, there were also ten local soldiers, nominally, who came to investigate the "situation" and actually protected Chen Qixin.
The group drove east along the south bank of the Oregon River.
